Electromagnetic Radiation
Electromagnetic waves can travel through empty space.
Through what medium?
Did you ever see sunlight, or light from the stars? - Light is a type of electromagnetic wave, and it came to us by traveling through empty space.

It depends on what they're traveling through. If they're traveling through vacuum, then it's what we call the "speed of light" but it's really the speed of all electromagnetic waves: 299,792,458 meters (186,282 miles) per second. If they're traveling through some material substance, such as air, water, glass, jello, etc., then the speed is a little less.

Light is an example of an electromagnetic (EM) wave. EM waves are transverse waves, not compressional waves. Sound waves are compressional waves, so both sound traveling through air and water would be compressional. Waves traveling along a coiled spring compress the coils together and spread them apart, so this is also an example of a compressional wave.
The speed of propagation of an electromagnetic wave (like light, which is an electromagnetic wave) is nearly the speed of light. It will actually be the speed of light in a vacuum. But it does travel a little more slowly depending on the medium through which it is traveling. (Like air.) The frequency of the electromagnetic wave is not a determining factor in finding its speed, but will certainly be a factor in determining its absorption by the medium. A radio wave of 9.5109 Hz is a really low frequency wave, and generating and transmitting it would be a pretty piece of engineering.
Could it be that the frequency of sound waves are to low?
